This manual is one of 10 completed in the Ohio Management Improvement Program (MIP) during the 1971-73 biennium. In this project, Ohio's 34 public universities and colleges, in an effort directed and staffed by the Ohio Board of Regents, have developed manuals of management practices, in this case, concerning personnel management. Emphasis in this manual is on organizing for personnel management in the universities; planning, policies, and procedures in personnel management; personnel functions; and reporting, controlling, and evaluating the personnel program.
